Exclusive video interview

Sirusho: "If people want me back in Eurovision, I'll go"

Sirusho, the Armenian representative in the 2008 Eurovision Song Contest, defines the Eurovision Song Contest as a music show case. The singer was interviewed by esctoday.com while visiting Malta where she will be performing tonight in the country's national final.

After the second dress rehearsal of the Maltese national final Sirusho spoke to esctoday.com and looked back to her experience in Belgrade. She said that following the contest she strengthened her musical career.

Sirusho explained how Armenia received a number of maximum votes even from the western countries. She states that this was a sign that her music was highly appreciated across Europe. Asked about a possible return to the contest since many past Eurovision representatives are getting back into  competition Sirusho did not commit herself but stressed that if people want to see her back she might do it again. She also referred to her collaboration with Eurostars Boaz Mauda and Jelena Tomasevic as they joined forces to sing a song for peace. The three singers competed in the same edition of the Eurovision Song Contest.

As revealed by esctoday.com Sirusho will be the international guest of tonight’s Malta Eurosong. In the second dress rehearsal she performed three songs. Apart from her Eurovision entry Qele Qele, which is expected to be warmly received by the live audience, she sang another ethnic uptempo song called Erotas. This entry is performed in Greek and the lyrics are written by Natalia Germanou who penned My Number One in 2005 while Hayko (Armenia 2007) composed the music.

Please don't continue the discussions!!!!! Those guys are adicted with th hate!!! Their country is create a society of hate, so they can spend whole day trying to find something against Armenian entry and to start the bashing!!!!!

Here is a link of an antisemitic site of Azerbaijanease State propganda:

http://day.az/news/eurovision

Look how many articles about Armenian entry, calling Eva "russian" "monstor from Rublyovka" bashing her beauty etc etc!!! Funny as in no one main Armenian sites no one article about their entry!!! Just read and see what a funny narrow-minded propaganda.
In this site in the posts of "some Users" we see the results of that propaganda!

They are totaly different songs /melody, arrengment and lyrics/! I have been talking with a duch guy who has put that video!! He has put that just as according to him this two songs are in the same type of music, and wonna know why Hind's song was bashed by all users and Eva's song wasn't as they are in the same style!!! The answer is one in the same style there can be good songs and bad songs!!!!

ORKI APUS

It's two absolutly different songs, I remember on MTV there was a such programm where they were trying to make one song out of two different. It was very interesting how the tunes were mixing and continuing each other. But it's not plagiazm.

"East Azerbaijan" and I know what you mean saying that!! I understand why you didn't wright """"""West Azerbaijan"""""" And the only thing I can say you are just a perfect example for armenians to understand that majority of you are adicted with fanatic and nazzy fairitales!!!! But whatever!!!!!!!! Dream, dream and again dream!!!

Dear Aragats Miasnakan
South Azerbaijan is not dream. It is so realistic that there will South Azerbaijan than now Karabag is Armenia. Until that day you have to find way to go from Armenia.
West- Turkey (85 million)
East- Azerbaijan (9 million)
South - South Azerbaijan (25 million)

Even Georgia have Marneuli/Borcali. Of course we dont want seperate it from Georgia as you want to do it with Javakhetiya

@Cirtadan ,
Daydreaming for south Azerbaijan is really funny !
I have been to Tabriz and now what they think ...
And now Kharabagh is Armenia ! we are not dreamers like you , we recognize the status quo ! And by the same logic we can and will use our monuments as our symbol , I know having defeating spirit is a heavy burden for you but will get used to it !

---Haydook may be Iran was angree.We dont care about it.Soon or later there was SOUTH AZERBAIJAN. Tabriz will capital city .
GOOD LUCK ! -------

Thank you for explaining "Soon or later there will be SOUTH AZERBAIJAN"!!!!!!! The logic of what you said is "we can put a pic of a monument which is in Northern Iran /South Azerbaijan/ because we are azeris but Armenia can't do that just because..." !!! HEHE!!!


@haydook

Like Ozi pointed out some people on this site choose their words according to ones ethnicity. Unfortunately you are one of those individuals.

What do you want from me??
Whatever I say you assume I take sides or I am bias, but your very wrong because unlike you and your friends I tend to have mind over matter and not always use my heart to draw upon conclusions about certain things ;)

But I am sure this year our representative from Switzerland is swell. He can compete with Eva Rivas. We have a great song this year guys and it is in....FRENCH!!!! However I dont want ESC to take place in my native country. I wanna go to Armenia or may be Cyprus, or lets say Portugal (why not, finally Portugal must win!)

i like Sirusho so much. I think she got some accent in her English. In Belgrade she used to speak like a native speaker. However lets hope Eva Rivas will hit her record and finally take Eurovision to Armenia. I would love to visit that country in 2011.
